Tottenham failed. Manchester United couldn't do it. Burnley came up short.
Liverpool still need a favour in the Premier League title race.
But the Reds are running out of time. Man City are a point ahead and Familiar faces could settle Liverpool and Man City title battle as Jurgen Klopp's message rings true.

And he gets goals. Lots of them.
That might be why The impressive record that shows Manchester United were not Liverpool's last hope of stopping Man City in title race, the Foxes have taken more points than anyone else outside of Liverpool, City, Spurs, Man United, Chelsea and Crystal Palace on the road.
And it's against the top six that Vardy really shines.
The Englishman has scored eight goals against Arsenal, seven against Liverpool and five against each Manchester club, as well as five against Spurs and four versus Chelsea.
And he's not out of the race for the Golden Boot, either. Vardy has 18 goals this season - three behind top scorer Mohamed Salah.
Rodgers' men are currently third in the form table , winning five of their last six games and losing just once and have beaten City once already this season, triumphing 2-1 at the King Power in December.
Liverpool fans will hope that Rodgers can work his magic and deal Man City another title blow. Perhaps the decisive title blow.
And if he scores, Vardy can come and have a big party on Merseyside in May.
